About the Role

Guidelight Health is redefining mental healthcare through its PHP and IOP programs. As a rapidly scaling organization backed by Triple Aim Partners and Google Ventures, technology is a core enabler of our ambition to grow to 150+ clinics across 25-30 markets. We are building the infrastructure—clinical, operational, data, and AI—that allows us to grow without sacrificing the quality and consistency of care that define our mission. This is a builder’s role where the technology function must evolve from foundational IT operations into a fully integrated enterprise capability spanning IT, engineering, and data. The Vice President of Technology will own that transformation, rapidly assessing needs, building scalable systems, and leading a technology organization capable of supporting a company ten times its current size. This leader will be both strategic and hands-on, equally comfortable in a boardroom conversation about AI strategy and a technical discussion about data architecture.

Responsibilities

Own and continuously evolve Guidelight’s enterprise technology roadmap aligned to clinical, operational, and financial objectives.
Champion AI adoption across the organization — identify, evaluate, and implement AI-enabled solutions that improve behavioral health outcomes and operational efficiency.
Evaluate AI vendors and tools (e.g., ambient documentation, AI-assisted coding, intelligent intake triage) and lead implementation with Clinical and Operations leadership.
Serve as the internal AI evangelist, educating leaders on responsible AI use and technical safeguards.
Make and communicate build vs. buy vs. partner decisions across all technology verticals.
Present technology strategy, AI roadmap, and enterprise risk posture to the CEO and board.
Own all IT infrastructure — cloud environments, network, endpoint management, and clinic-level systems — ensuring reliability, scalability, and security.
Manage new clinic launch provisioning, improving speed and consistency as growth accelerates.
Oversee vendor and MSP relationships, including performance management, SLA accountability, and contract governance.
Ensure systems support multi-state, multi-clinic operations at scale.
Build and continuously mature Guidelight’s enterprise cybersecurity program.
Conduct technology and cybersecurity risk assessments; develop security roadmaps and remediation strategies.
Oversee identity and access management, vulnerability management, endpoint and cloud security, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
Partner with Compliance and Privacy on incident response and technical risk mitigation.
Maintain alignment with HIPAA, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, and HITRUST maturity standards.
Lead technical vendor governance and third-party technology risk management.
Perform technical due diligence for new systems and vendors, evaluating cybersecurity, AI, cloud, and interoperability risks.
Partner with Compliance, Privacy, Legal, and Procurement during vendor selection and oversight.
Establish lifecycle management and governance standards for all technology partnerships.
Build and lead a software engineering function capable of developing internal tools, integrations, and AI-enabled workflow automation.
Partner with Clinical, Operations, and Finance to translate business requirements into engineered solutions.
Oversee EHR integrations (Kipu), billing automation, and intake technology.
Develop engineering team structure, hiring plan, and capability roadmap.
Build and own Guidelight’s data architecture, pipelines, governance, and access.
Ensure data integrity, availability, and accessibility for decision-making.
Oversee data infrastructure vendors (e.g., Snowflake, Domo) and ensure delivery quality.
Drive a data-driven culture connecting insights to patient outcomes, clinic performance, and payer relationships.
Hire, develop, and manage a high-performing technology team across IT, engineering, and data.
Define career paths, performance expectations, and development frameworks.
Foster a culture of ownership, responsiveness, and continuous improvement aligned with Guidelight’s mission.
Lead technology budgeting, workforce planning, and succession planning.
Partner with Compliance, Privacy, Clinical, Operations, and Legal to ensure technology capabilities support compliance with CMS Certified Community Mental Health Center Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 485, Subpart J), CARF Behavioral Health Standards, HIPAA Security Rule, Applicable state behavioral health licensing requirements, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, and HITRUST.
